Agroecology

Agroecology is a field of science that combines agronomy and ecology. Both the IAASTD report and Olivier de Schutter, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food have found that agroecology shows the most promise as a way to end hunger among smallholder farmers in the Global South. This is significant, as the majority of the world's hungry are smallholder farmers in the Global South.
